I am a PhD student at the Department of Mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Paul Wedrich.

I am part of the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe and I am partially funded by the Collaborative Research Center 1624: Higher Structures, Moduli Spaces and Integrability.

Furthermore I am managing the multimedia studio of the Department of Mathematics.

Research

My research interests lie in categorification and knot homology theories as well as their connections to low-dimensional topology, representation theory and theoretical physics. Currently I am working on the construction of a topological quantum field thoery (TQFT) from skein theories of surfaces.
